Herez a crazy idea:
Gaets and Trump created this entire scandal to discredit the Demz, the Attourney Jeneral and the entire subject uv sex with under aje girlz.
He will go to trial and ABRA CADABRA! proof that he iz inosent! Jury findz him inosent and the rite wing media launchez a full scale assault on the justis system, Biden, the real newz networks, etc. Everybody on the left they can possibly splatter sum stink on.
Then Trump feelz at least a little safer from Putinz blackmail. If Putin spillz the Kompromat beanz, its 'LOOK! Its the same story they just tried to peddle! How stoopid woud you haf to be to fall for it agen?'
Great theory, exept I think its way too devious for Trump and Gaets. Maybe Barr coud possibly be smart enuf to come up with it, but I dont think he'd be able to get Gaets to go along with it.

Discrediting Dems isn't something anybody needs to put any effort into.
All one needs to do is sit back and watch Democrats discredit themselves every time they open their hypocritical mouths.
Democrats put the D in Discredit.
Pick one.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.

Matt Gaetz gets speaking slot at Trump club hosted by group that held pre-insurrection rally

Embattled Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) appears to be getting some support from the Trump camp and from the far right Trump-aligned group that hosted the January 6 pre-insurrection rally where the former president ginned up the MAGA marchers who stormed the Capitol.

At least the terrorists still support him.
Such quality people!

I put the D in Deflect?
This whole Gaetz thing is an exercise in deflection.

Matt Gaetz's staffers were sending videos of his outrageous behavior to other Republican officials

The most surprising thing about Gaetz’s current position is just how unsurprising every Republican in D.C. seems to find it. But there’s a good reason: Not only did Gaetz show off naked pictures and videos of his supposed conquests to other Republican members of Congress, his staff apparently sent around videos of his most outrageous exploits to their counterparts with other Republican officials.
When it comes to Matt Gaetz, Republicans weren’t facing vague rumors about his conduct, they were getting bragging self-confessions from the man himself. And they were getting both photos and video, some of it delivered by Gaetz right from the floor of the House.
Part of what made Gaetz feel as if sending his sex tapes to fellow Republicans acceptable can be seen in a new Orlando Sentinel article that describes Gaetz’s feelings about such images. Gaetz believes that once he has an “intimate” picture of someone, that image is his to use however he wants. That includes feeding his ego, or using the image as revenge porn. Which is why Gaetz as the primary source of opposition to a bill against revenge porn when he served in the Florida house.
All of this suggests that the biggest crime connected to Matt Gaetz may not be transporting an underage girl across state lines and putting her up at a hotel for the purposes of sex, or Gaetz’s long-running partnership with Republican official and fake ID supplier Joel Greenberg. The biggest crime is the conspiracy of silence among Republican lawmakers who continued to protect Gaetz even though they were seeing graphic evidence of his behavior. They knew what he was doing. And they were just fine with it until Gaetz was caught.
How bad do Republicans think Gaetz’s actions were? When Rep. Jim Jordan faced reports that he was connected to a coverup involving dozens of cases of sexual abuse at Ohio State, six Republican lawmakers stepped forward to put a statement of support for Jordan on the record. None of them has offered anything similar for Gaetz. (Of course, Gaetz has been praised by new Republican leader Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. So there’s that.)

Is sharing naked photos of your conquests to colleagues a crime? Yes, it's disgusting but is it a crime? I don't know which laws, if any, apply.
This is like Clinton and Lewinsky. The investigation started with Whitewater and meandered, like a tornado, over various issues until it settled on Lewinsky. The whole MoveOn website was created in response to Republican obsessing over a private affair. What happens between consenting adults is what happens between consenting adults.
If there is intimidation or force involved, or the person isn't of age or doesn't have the mental capacity to consent, that's another story.
I'm sure that if charges can be filed, they'll be filed.
In the meantime, this is just a distraction, like SIX said, to move attention away from other, more important matters, like Biden's* dementia and his* administration's drive towards war and catastrophic deficit spending.
